Giants' Hunter Pence hits 11th home run in 11th inning on Saturday

by Jason Lempert | Staff Writer

Giants right fielder (and Texas-native) Hunter Pence came through with the biggest hit of the night on Saturday. Pence drilled a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning, en route to the 9-7 win over the Rangers.

Pence, who was born in Fort Worth and went to Arlington High School, went 2 for 5 in the game with his 11th home run of the season.

Of Pence's 191 career home runs, 74 were of the go-ahead variety. Over his past 10 games, Pence is batting .342 with two homers and seven RBI.

Giants right fielder Hunter Pence enjoyed a four-hit night at the plate in Friday's 9-3 win over the A's. Pence doubled twice, singled twice, drove in two runs and scored a run.

Pence has been tearing the cover off the ball after returning from the disabled list earlier this month. In 12 games since making his return, Pence is batting .353 with five doubles, three homers and 15 RBI. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Giants are 10-2 in those 12 games.
